Wow that’s insane because he seems so in the moment, almost like it’s pouring out of him for the first time. Not to mention inspiring that he’s 63, I still have time hahah
@@mouseshadow5828 in the interview with Rick Beato he says he rarely plays fills exactly like on the album. He likes to change it live and also often these takes in the studio are "in that moment" and hard to exactly replicate. He mentioned the Stinkfist intro, said he probably never plays it like on the album.
@@jrgdrumsandwatches Yep, the fills in this performance are different from the studio recording. I actually like the fills here a lot better, to the point where I consider this to be the definitive version and the album version to be, I dunno, a practice session?
Live version in this video is not *precisely* like the studio recording, but the differences are tiny -- when the composition is this complex, he's not going to go completely off the rails. Two examples: the small staccato hits on the tiny cymbals in the middle of the guitar solo are not on the record; during most of the instrumental interlude in this live version he's keeping time with the high hat, but on the studio recording it's the kick drum doing the quarter notes (after a few bars of matching the bass pattern). I'm sure there are others.
@@yarpyarp85 I believe Danny tries to "master" a song so that it sounds as close to perfectly the same each time, although sure there's always going to be some minor variances, but with Danny it's more than likely that playing the same song/s all the time he has made "slight improvements" to each song so that while they "sound the same" to fans but to him they probably "sound better" than ever.
@@yarpyarp85the solo is slightly different from the album but he plays it exactly, like this video, during the live shows, no improvisation during that middle section. The only thing he improvises is the order of the fills in the “instrumental chorus section” the 4/4 section.
Sorry bro, you are downplaying how good this is. That middle section is straight swiss triplets, and fast ones, across different pads, while playing alternating ostenatos with his feet. Jeff Porcaro wouldnt know what to do with this. Playing it is one thing, writing it...DC is on another level.
I do not consider myself a Tool fan, but this song is just perfect! We all know Danny Carey is an absolute beast and genius of a drummer, but seeing Mike Portnoy struggling to learn this song on Drumeo blew my mind and set Danny Carey in a category of its own. Congrats on your marriage and good luck with the speech in chinese!!! (if you can learn Bleed, you can do a speech in chinese ;) )
I will say the same thing I say to all reactors - if you're planning to make a real go of it, get UA-cam Premium! I stayed for Danny, but few things will make me click away from a reaction faster than an advert interrupting the flow.
@@yarpyarp85 No apologies needed, it will just make it easier and less frustrating for you as well - it's one of the best content content subscriptions out there IMHO, and means you don't have to worry about the ads.
IDK Adblock Plus has worked great for me forever, I was intensely confused when I tried to use UA-cam on someone else's computer one time and was accosted by endless garbage, because I didn't even know UA-cam had ads, lol.
The composition of their music has grown in complexity but they’ve maintained that unity sonically that makes them more than the sum of their parts. Heaviest band ever, by sheer mass. Even when they aren’t heavy, their weight is undeniable. They move you because their mass displaces you like the hull of a ship.
Yo touched down in Korea! ❤ thanks everyone for watching, head over to my other video where I play the same beat for 1.5h smash that like button and I’ll play something for 3h lol. Also if you wanna make suggestions for bands I should react to plzzzzz feel free im always looking for suggestions. I’m definitely doing, Aric improta, George kollias and Pete Sandoval soon but any others just let me know 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@yarpyarp85 Now that you've seen Vlad Ulasevich (Jinjer) I'll throw Alex Bent into the recommendation pool. He taught himself to play drums by largely watching UA-cam videos around age 11. By age 18 he was a hired gun including for bands like Battlecross and Testament. About 7 years ago - at the ripe old age of 24 - he became the permanent drummer of Trivium. I think his drum playthrough for 'Betrayer' is a good place to start.
Enjoy your current journey! I didn’t see a Rush reaction on your channel (but I might have just missed it) so I am just throwing Neil Peart out there as a suggestion. Really any Rush song from their second album onward. Maybe the Buddy Rich tribute. Or Rush’s Malignant Narcissism Slagwerker 2007.
What I love about watching Danny play - yeah, he's a powerful drummer, but there's also an efficiency to how he moves. It gives him a kind of fluidity that's really great to watch.
Dude, hope you have a great time in China! I love this album, one of my favourites, and this song is incredible! Watching your video reminded me of sitting in your living room in our teens watching different live band performances after jamming together!
The thing with Tool and songs like this one is that for most first time listeners you don't fully comprehend how intricate and complicated it really is. It's the more you listen to it the more you discover and understand what a masterpiece this song really is and how amazing the band is
New sub here. I LOVE this song, and I am longtime Tool and Danny Carey fan. Saw them live in the 90’s and they knocked my socks off 😆 Like you, this song makes me emotional. I love the ability of songs to do that to us. An incredible masterpiece. Thanks for doing this video!
What an outstanding drummer!His body language , His gestures, his touch and his mastery of his instrument are simply incredible. I'm pretty sure that one of his great influences is Christian Vander, drummer for Magma, the French cult band from the '70s that blends classical music, jazz, contemporary music and progressive rock. If you don't know Christian Vander, you'll have to fix that mistake, Matt. This man isn't human, he's a genius possessed by his music, an extraterrestrial haunted by the spirit of John Coltrane. I suggest you listen to one of their live tracks called Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh or the version of Hhaï / Zombies Live Triton 2005. Finally, I wish you every happiness with your wonderful wife. May your love last forever!
Congrats on your marriage! That's awesome! Enjoy. my dad and little bro went to China with my older bro and his wife to meet her family, and they frequently talk about what a great time they had. Any plans to check out the Chinese jazz and/or metal scene while you're there??
Dark Satellites!! Thanks so much! I wish, apparently all were gonna have time for is the wedding stuff and my mom really wants to check out a botanical garden 🫠🫠🫠🫠 still really excited. Just touched down in Korea for a lay over. Gonna crash hard now after the 14h flight 💀. Have a great week eh!
Chairman Matt, here's a few things: 1. Don't know how it is with drums, but with some things there's an interesting curve, like, if 1.5 hours was a bit of a torture for you, there's always a chance that 3 hours will end up feeling entirely different, like as if you opened a different chakra. No guarantees, but happened to me with hiking, once I went a trail and was completely done at the end, next time full of anxiety, I went on a harder trail almost twice as long as the first one, and I felt some pains, but at some point it started to feel different. I have a sort of theory of an "another you" that shows up with something valuable only when you don't expect it. Not like I can guarantee it shows up when you want it. Either way, just... keep doing like and subscribe challenges, but simply - strategize and choose something that will really force you to push yourself and get rewarding. 2. There's this thing called video ad blocker, you can do as simple as only turn it on when you're recording. UA-cam has declared a war on it, but then seems to have backed down. For now, but pretty sure "The Internet" of "the many" is more likely to figure something out sooner than a limited number of IT professionals, even if corporations like YT are possibly on the look for the best of the best to hire (no bad word intended at them, just consider that it took Tomas Haake to nail down Bleed like 6 months, then he challenged drummers to learn it and a few came up with solid imitations pretty fast - not saying they are better drummers, but that there are occasionally ways to speed up the learning curve by throwing the right milestones at yourself. That said, it feels to me that in metal or similar genres, it's sometimes a better game to distribute your skills between a sort of hunch or intuition, where you just take the pattern like trr-trr-ttrrrrr-trrr-tr-tr-trrr-trrr in through repetition and start replicating it intuitively without counting, until you get it into some sort of semi-conscious muscle memory, and pull out the counting only when you need it. ) 3. Get ready to eventually react to the Drumeo video of Mike Portnoy trying to learn this as soon as possible. A treat and of course, even if he's a super-class, still different drummers would have different ways to approach this or just different things to notice if they were to learn it as quickly as possible, ideally knowing their own strengths and weaknesses, not to mention the vocab blocks to use, so it's bound to be exciting. 4. While everyone can keep discussing whether Tool is metal or not, I'd say that onwards from the first two albums, it's only a matter of where exactly they are going to land in not just metal or rock, but simply music history. Don't want to insult anyone, only my feelings are that Fear Inoculum (their last album and where this song is from) wasn't really as innovative as I expected, more like perfecting the craft, and while that's OK, I just felt a bit let down with regards to how innovative Tool could get at moments when least expected. And I'm not even of the Tool army, just felt a few more paragraphs than usual could make this place more interesting.
My approach to appreciating drumming is like the old adage about art, I may not know drumming but I know what I like. You don't have to be drum expert to know Danny Carey is one of the best. Also my guy, GET UA-cam Premium!!!
Danny Carey, always makes me feel like I am rhythmically challenged. I play guitar but this dude just confuses the shit out of me and I'm really interested to know how tool actually writes their songs. The process behind it. Great review to an absolutely amazing song and drummer.
Danny has a strong Indian influence. One of his main instructors and inspirations is Aloke Dutta, Indian tabla master. If I remember correctly he guests on the live version of Pushit they released on Salival. Anyway, that's one of his 'secret' weapons you might say because many people are not familiar with Indian rythyms which can be quite advanced and interesting. Familiarize yourself with more Indian music and I'm sure your sense of timing will advance as well.
I can understand ads before or after the video but those random interruptions that always land in the middle of a sentence (or in this case throw you out of the flow of a song) are absolutely infuriating. I want to know what type of person gets an ad on youtube and goes "Uoooooh! I gotta get me one of those!".
Cool reaction bro, one little nitpick I am 100% sure Danny switches from a RRL to Swiss army triplets in the mid section. You can see this switch when the camera is focused on his left and hand and just before the angle swaps you can see his left hand switch from single to double strokes which he continues throughout the section. Annoyingly not one drum reactor I’ve seen has noticed this!
I will recommend you take a look at Baard Kolstad from Leprous. He makes drum playthrus of several of their songs. You should check out The sky is red, fun little thing 🙂
Appreciate the content! One musician to another, ad free youtube is a worth while investment. Like you said, music that good causes an emotional response ...deserves to be uninterrupted. Saves on a lotta aggravation for me personally, since some videos on here are indispensable tools/info. Enjoy China, cheers!
I'm with you on the YT commercials, I feel like they've been trying to test what I can take before taking UA-cam Premium. I sometimes get longer commercials than the actual video I'm watching. The thing is, I wouldn't mind paying if there's a tier for just getting the commercials gone, but you get so much more which I don't want and the price tag is so high. *table flip*
Dude. You have a youtube channel. Get youtube Premium. It behooves you. The tiny punch in the pocket will make you so much happier. I would get a second job before I gave up no ads.
I loved Tool's first album and I wholeheartedly agree Danny Carey is a very talented drummer. I have to admit though that I watched this video for your algorithm - I find Tool as a band (especially their live shows) extremely boring. I know - an unpopular opinion. 😈
yeah, quite unpopular. Danny alone is a spectacle to behold. i get it though, a lot of people don't enjoy long technical, intricate, mind blowing, instrumentation. but for musicians, TOOL are expert level entertainment. not for everyone.
Pretendginger! Thank u so much, I truly appreciate it! And I get what you’re saying, to each her own. I have an unpopular opinion of my own (if we’re sharing) haha I’m not a big fan of breaking bad hahah. Every time I tell people they chew me out😭😭 thanks for watching though!
@@corrob Actually I think your description is right on because I also feel the same about Animals As Leaders and Opeth. If a song or two are integrated into a recommended playlist or played, say, on SiriusXM Liquid Metal I mostly don't mind. But seeing an entire live set is a struggle for me.
@@yarpyarp85 When I first saw your reply I read it as Breaking Benjamin (the band) and thought "Well...🤷". LOL. But then I reread it and realized you had said Breaking BAD - as in the show. Yeah I could see that one causing more than a few jaw drops in disbelief. Lucky for us all there is plenty of media content to choose from - unlike the 80s when most of us had about four channels on a TV that only had dials and no internet/satellite radio.
The "instrumental section" where Matt was saying how Danny's hands are playing different beats, I recall another drum expert who said all 4 of his limbs were playing different time signatures during this song, but that for much of that section his right leg and his left arm were playing the same time signature which is pretty amazing since those limbs are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain. Danny truly is an Octopus in human form.
I don't think Danny "gets loose with it" everything he does is about precision, that's why he has no trouble with the odd time signatures and poly-signatures, if he wasn't precise he would struggle. Just my opinion though, great reaction video.
HHAAA drop an adblocker HAAAA 'your sex is interrupted by an insurance advertisement - now back to your orgasm' Never ever have I accepted ads in my internet experience, not since the 2000's 😄
Maybe, you know, pay for YT premium if you're going to make videos without commercials? And if not, then don't complain about it. "If there's one more commercial I'm going to kill myself, right here on camera." FFS, I know you have $15.
I would really like you to do a double reaction of the drummer David Diepold. Just any of his extreme metal play through's followed by his cover of Dave Weckl's Tiempo de Festival.
I honestly think the audio mix is better in this video than the album version. You can hear all the drums better, and even the rest of it is less muddy.
Nobody…..nobody, crushes the Snare Drum like The Octupus. Danny is on an entirely different planet. Hell, Pneuma, crazy as it is, isn’t even his best work!
"This is the type of music, this type of artistry that makes me emotional when I watch it. It's TOO good." Is close to what every TOOL fan thought the first time they heard a TOOL song. I remember exactly where I was when I heard my first TOOL. INSTANTLY hooked! BTW, 46&2. I was DJ-ing at a rock radio station on a Sunday morning in '98. Before computers,I had to know when it ended to push the button to start the next tune. I missed the cue because I was in a TOOL trance. I never looked back. 🤘
Danny studied classical percussion at Kansas University for a few years before heading out to Los Angeles to try and make a living out of music; he played in several bands at the same time (putting more irons in the fire), including Green Jello and Carole King. After Tool had difficulty finding a permanent drummer Danny joined and things took off fairly quickly (much to their surprise) after playing Lolapalooza in '93 which helped boost sales of "Undertow" (their first LP) & the "Opiate" EP is legendary. I like Vinnie Colaiuta, Gavin Harrison and Matt Cameron for groovin' odd-time drummers, all these guys make a simple 4/4 groove sound awesome too.
New to the channel! I love me some drum content. If you’re a jazzy boy, check out Blake Richardson’s episode on Drumeo from a couple weeks ago. He’s one of the all time great prog metal drummers IMO, and he’ll leave your brain leaking out of every hole in your head.
Congratulations have fun in China. My wife and I also got married in China a year after our American marriage. Where is she from? My wife is from 沧源 cang yuan, Yunnan Province.
I didn't even try to count this out, and for that matter follow the guitar grove. What I did was isolate the guitar and vocals, then just vocals. A very cool vocal syncopation you don't see very often (if at all). It did take me several hours to dial it in. Most of use drummers don't think this way. But then again, most of us drummers don't get fed music scores like this to deal with either. Very nice and off the chart's grove and over-all song that a lot of fun to play!
You should check out Braan Dailor (Mastodon) on Drumeo. He does a full hour long session, but there are some single songs. His breakdown of Blood And Thunder is quite nice.
"danny carey hits hard" i had the pleasure to sit within arms reach of hiim and his set during a show and you he hits the cymbals so hard i felt the air come off them like a fan.
bringing the Tool Army in here, you're definitely gonna be getting 3000 likes
Part of me wants that and the other part fears it hahah.
@@yarpyarp85you’re gonna LOVE this band.
He played it exactly like the album version. He always does with every song unless it's a planned variation.
By the way, Danny is 63.
Wow that’s insane because he seems so in the moment, almost like it’s pouring out of him for the first time. Not to mention inspiring that he’s 63, I still have time hahah

My guy, he said that this was #1 and literally perfect, I don’t know what more praise you could ask for from him
"If Shawshank Redemption was a song". HAHA that is so good. Love it!
☺️☺️☺️
I’m getting excited about the Beat show in Boston. Love Tool, but 80’s King Crimson is the pinnacle of music.
Looking forward to the OKC show!
I do not consider myself a Tool fan, but this song is just perfect! We all know Danny Carey is an absolute beast and genius of a drummer, but seeing Mike Portnoy struggling to learn this song on Drumeo blew my mind and set Danny Carey in a category of its own.
Congrats on your marriage and good luck with the speech in chinese!!! (if you can learn Bleed, you can do a speech in chinese ;) )
careys timing and presence is insane. imo a strong contender for best drummer ever
Nope... Not even Top 5... Michael Jordan is the GOAT, hands down... and then LeBron James, followed by Tom Brady, Usain Bolt and Wayne Gretzky
I will say the same thing I say to all reactors - if you're planning to make a real go of it, get UA-cam Premium! I stayed for Danny, but few things will make me click away from a reaction faster than an advert interrupting the flow.

I can understand ads before or after the video but those random interruptions that always land in the middle of a sentence (or in this case throw you out of the flow of a song) are absolutely infuriating. I want to know what type of person gets an ad on youtube and goes "Uoooooh! I gotta get me one of those!".
Right!!! I was incensed haha. Over it now but in the moment I wanted to smash my computer lol
That is a smoooooth intro dude!! Nice.
Much lurve! If you listen, we will come!
Congrats on the trip, btw!
Cool reaction bro, one little nitpick I am 100% sure Danny switches from a RRL to Swiss army triplets in the mid section. You can see this switch when the camera is focused on his left and hand and just before the angle swaps you can see his left hand switch from single to double strokes which he continues throughout the section.
Annoyingly not one drum reactor I’ve seen has noticed this!
I will recommend you take a look at Baard Kolstad from Leprous. He makes drum playthrus of several of their songs. You should check out The sky is red, fun little thing 🙂
The octopus in action!
You should now do Mike Portenoy learning this song on the Drumeo channel.
Appreciate the content! One musician to another, ad free youtube is a worth while investment. Like you said, music that good causes an emotional response ...deserves to be uninterrupted. Saves on a lotta aggravation for me personally, since some videos on here are indispensable tools/info. Enjoy China, cheers!
Love your fucking input … please do more
They break it up in 12-8, 11-8 and 10-8
HATE COMMERCIALS?
Pay for PREMIUM.
Check out Animals As Leaders with Matt Gartska on drums.
Saw them in Portland and then...nirvana
We need some of those drumeo sleep token drum vids 🫡
Worship
Ok I’ve gotten so many recommendation for them, it’s happening as soon as I get back from china. 🤘🤘🤘
@@yarpyarp85 you won't be disappointed!!! Enjoy the fam time!
Bro it's 2024 get an ad blocker. It's the first thing I install an a pc
Pay for premium lol!
I’m gonna hahah sorry🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Liked the video. You should check out "I'm tweaked" by Vinnie Colaiuta
It’s 33/8 and 4/4
new sub. but a bit of advice, if youre doing reactions, pay the 15$ a month for no ads.
Dude thanks for the sub and I will 100% I gotta get my shit together. 😉😉
Sir, if you have a reaction channel, it'd be worth it to you to get UA-cam Premium....no commercials!!!
React to sleep token - the summoning drum playthrough by drumeo
❤ totally I’ll do that soon! Thanksssss
I'm with you on the YT commercials, I feel like they've been trying to test what I can take before taking UA-cam Premium. I sometimes get longer commercials than the actual video I'm watching. The thing is, I wouldn't mind paying if there's a tier for just getting the commercials gone, but you get so much more which I don't want and the price tag is so high. *table flip*
They want to annoye you into soeding $10 a month.
Dude. You have a youtube channel. Get youtube Premium. It behooves you. The tiny punch in the pocket will make you so much happier. I would get a second job before I gave up no ads.
I loved Tool's first album and I wholeheartedly agree Danny Carey is a very talented drummer. I have to admit though that I watched this video for your algorithm - I find Tool as a band (especially their live shows) extremely boring. I know - an unpopular opinion. 😈
yeah, quite unpopular. Danny alone is a spectacle to behold. i get it though, a lot of people don't enjoy long technical, intricate, mind blowing, instrumentation. but for musicians, TOOL are expert level entertainment. not for everyone.
Pretendginger! Thank u so much, I truly appreciate it! And I get what you’re saying, to each her own. I have an unpopular opinion of my own (if we’re sharing) haha I’m not a big fan of breaking bad hahah. Every time I tell people they chew me out😭😭 thanks for watching though!
@@corrob Actually I think your description is right on because I also feel the same about Animals As Leaders and Opeth. If a song or two are integrated into a recommended playlist or played, say, on SiriusXM Liquid Metal I mostly don't mind. But seeing an entire live set is a struggle for me.
@@yarpyarp85 When I first saw your reply I read it as Breaking Benjamin (the band) and thought "Well...🤷". LOL. But then I reread it and realized you had said Breaking BAD - as in the show. Yeah I could see that one causing more than a few jaw drops in disbelief. Lucky for us all there is plenty of media content to choose from - unlike the 80s when most of us had about four channels on a TV that only had dials and no internet/satellite radio.
Nah it’s just about the music and not really the show, I could understand how someone wouldn’t love it
The "instrumental section" where Matt was saying how Danny's hands are playing different beats, I recall another drum expert who said all 4 of his limbs were playing different time signatures during this song, but that for much of that section his right leg and his left arm were playing the same time signature which is pretty amazing since those limbs are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain. Danny truly is an Octopus in human form.
Nobody can count the Carey
I don't think Danny "gets loose with it" everything he does is about precision, that's why he has no trouble with the odd time signatures and poly-signatures, if he wasn't precise he would struggle. Just my opinion though, great reaction video.

I don't believe you would be the first drummer to die during a performance. Nick Menza died during a performance.
Daney is awesome. Clearly one of the 3 best Drummer of all time. Challange: copy this.
Danny Carey’s arms and legs must each have their own little brain. His limb independence is just insane.
How about don’t complain about the commercials and pay for premium? Invest a little or edit it down and not complain.
Maybe, you know, pay for YT premium if you're going to make videos without commercials? And if not, then don't complain about it. "If there's one more commercial I'm going to kill myself, right here on camera." FFS, I know you have $15.
Should react to the drummer from oceans ate Alaska. Dude has such tasty decisions
I would really like you to do a double reaction of the drummer David Diepold. Just any of his extreme metal play through's followed by his cover of Dave Weckl's Tiempo de Festival.
I honestly think the audio mix is better in this video than the album version. You can hear all the drums better, and even the rest of it is less muddy.
Nobody…..nobody, crushes the Snare Drum like The Octupus. Danny is on an entirely different planet. Hell, Pneuma, crazy as it is, isn’t even his best work!
"This is the type of music, this type of artistry that makes me emotional when I watch it. It's TOO good." Is close to what every TOOL fan thought the first time they heard a TOOL song. I remember exactly where I was when I heard my first TOOL. INSTANTLY hooked! BTW, 46&2. I was DJ-ing at a rock radio station on a Sunday morning in '98. Before computers,I had to know when it ended to push the button to start the next tune. I missed the cue because I was in a TOOL trance. I never looked back. 🤘
When you said you would eliminate yourself…right here.. on camera if there was another commercial😂 popped me good😂🤘🏼
Danny studied classical percussion at Kansas University for a few years before heading out to Los Angeles to try and make a living out of music; he played in several bands at the same time (putting more irons in the fire), including Green Jello and Carole King. After Tool had difficulty finding a permanent drummer Danny joined and things took off fairly quickly (much to their surprise) after playing Lolapalooza in '93 which helped boost sales of "Undertow" (their first LP) & the "Opiate" EP is legendary. I like Vinnie Colaiuta, Gavin Harrison and Matt Cameron for groovin' odd-time drummers, all these guys make a simple 4/4 groove sound awesome too.
Never talk over Danny dude c'mon???
I've watch a ton of reactions to this song and not one person has notice Danny smile at Maynard as the walks past his set then in back of him @10:39
New to the channel! I love me some drum content.
If you’re a jazzy boy, check out Blake Richardson’s episode on Drumeo from a couple weeks ago. He’s one of the all time great prog metal drummers IMO, and he’ll leave your brain leaking out of every hole in your head.
Congratulations have fun in China. My wife and I also got married in China a year after our American marriage. Where is she from? My wife is from 沧源 cang yuan, Yunnan Province.
I didn't even try to count this out, and for that matter follow the guitar grove. What I did was isolate the guitar and vocals, then just vocals. A very cool vocal syncopation you don't see very often (if at all). It did take me several hours to dial it in. Most of use drummers don't think this way. But then again, most of us drummers don't get fed music scores like this to deal with either. Very nice and off the chart's grove and over-all song that a lot of fun to play!
You should check out Braan Dailor (Mastodon) on Drumeo. He does a full hour long session, but there are some single songs. His breakdown of Blood And Thunder is quite nice.
He said that his jazz training helped him with his approach in a rock setting.
Another reaction video to Tool, prepare to have more views than you've ever had!
The interesting thing about this performance is this is one of the first times they played this song live. I think Danny got way better at it.
And now it's time for the Drumeo video of Mike Portnoy having to try to learn this song.
It's down to 3/64 timing for Carey
Not the best but still very very good! Neil wears the 👑 !
"danny carey hits hard"
i had the pleasure to sit within arms reach of hiim and his set during a show and you he hits the cymbals so hard i felt the air come off them like a fan.
